Wasn't even a bad movie.  If he can't get it across the line....   You can do it it's just harder.  Other day people on these forums were saying the traditional Pantheons etc were boring blah blah blah etc etc etc.  Netflix had 3 viking shows on it, the last 3 Assassin's Creed games sold millions and set records for DLC. They used Ancient Egypt, Greece and Vikings as back drop.  Assassin's Creed movie flopped and the movie was better than the D&D ones with a bigger franchise to back it.  MCU drew heavily on Asgardian mythology.  The classics are classics for a reason. A single assassin's creed title gets more money than the entire rpg market does in several years.  D&D is still niche comparatively. They don't really have an A list actor because they don't really exist anymore except maybe The Rock and Tom Cruise.  By A list I mean someone who can carry a movie by themselves. Chris Hemsworth movies for example haven't done that well outside of MCU. Robert Downey Junior similar boat.  Chris Pine can't really do that either. Star Trek underperforming did that and your not going to see Wonder Women because of him.</blockquote>
